Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

The objects of the CIO are, for the public benefit, to advance the Christian faith in the tradition of the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East in the United Kingdom, primarily but not exclusively through the provision of a place or places of worship, the administration of the sacraments, rites, and ceremonies of the Church according to its usage and forms.

Financial Review

Financial Position

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Trustees regularly review the level of reserves required to ensure they are sufficient to fulfil the CIO’s continuing obligations.

During the financial year, the CIO completed the purchase of a new church property at St James’s Church, St James’ Avenue, London W13 9DL, valued at £3.225 million. The CIO also holds a freehold property in TW8 9QJ and retains ownership of its former church building at W7 3TU (pending sale). Taken together, the total asset value of the CIO therefore exceeds the £3.26 million threshold set by the Charity Commission.

In addition, gross income for the year exceeded £500,000, primarily due to increased fundraising activity to support the church purchase. As both the income and asset thresholds were exceeded, the Trustees were made aware of the requirement to conduct a full statutory audit. Accordingly, the Finance Department was instructed to engage an independent firm of auditors to carry out the audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Going Concern

The trustees have considered all relevant factors, on the charity's activities and have concluded there is no significant impact on the Organisation.

It is therefore considered that the going concern status remains intact and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.

Principal Funding Sources

The CIO’s primary sources of funding in 2024 included:

Funds in surplus

The Board have reviewed the charity’s financial position at year end and is satisfied the charity continues to be in good financial health.

During the year, income (Donations) was £580,019 (2023: £430,622).

Restricted funds:

Restricted funds as at 31 December 2024 are £Nil (2023: Nil)

Unrestricted funds:

Unrestricted funds as at 31 December 2004 are £1,408,636 (2023: £1,101,662)

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The CIO was formed through a constitution dated 21 October 2019 and commenced activity on 5 November 2019.

The CIO is governed by its constitution, which was approved by the Charity Commission and has not been amended. In setting objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East (the "charity") for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure Account), Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 2—4, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 5

Independent Auditor's Report (continued) to the Members of Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance and regulations, we considered the following:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use Of Our Report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters that we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
